Re: Lowering A RWD '96 Safari

Anyone? :-k

How about using Western Chassis Lowering Leaf Springs 951002 instead of the DJM FK1027-97 or Belltech 6302 rear flip kits? Would I need to replace the rear shocks if only changing the leaf springs?

Aftermarket Wheels - Looking For Places To Buy Them From

Hi guys. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find some online websites that offer a good range of aftermarket wheels for the Astro/Safari. I am looking for similar style wheels that you see fitted to the vans in Japan. If anyone can point me in the right direction to some it would be appreciated....
